Wilbur L. Ross, Jr., Chairman and CEO of WL Ross & Co.

Mr. Ross remains a Director of what is now ArcelorMittal, the world’s largest steel company. He also created and chairs International Textile Group, the most global American company in that industry; and International Auto Components Group, a $4.5 billion producer of instrument panels and other interior components, operating in 17 countries; Compagnie Europeenne de Wagons Sarl, the largest rail car leasing company in Europe; and American Home Mortgage Servicing Inc., the second largest servicer of subprime mortgages. He also chaired International Coal Group, which was sold to Arch Coal for $3.4 billion. He is a member of the Boards of AirLease Corp., Assured Guaranty, BankUnited and Greenbrier Companies, all NYSE-listed, of PLASCAR listed in Brazil, and of Sun Bancorp and Navigator Holdings, which are traded over the counter. He recently became Chairman of Diamond S Shipping which has committed to a 38 vessel crude and product tanker fleet.
